Alright, it's been 2 weeks, we can officially say that Joker 2 has flopped and hard. Alex and J try and figure out what happened.

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,420
which is error code 415 an unsupported media type Joker 2 folia do is

2
00:00:08,420 --> 00:00:12,360
officially a flop we wanted to give it to the second week because maybe word of

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,240
mouth would would buoy it it opened way lower than was expected and its second

4
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:26,120
week it was even worse it now has the largest second week drop of any comic

5
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:33,160
book movie in history dropping 81% to less than 8 million in week 2 I think

6
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:37,280
Deadpool did better than that it now basically there's no chance of getting

7
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,080
anywhere close to break even after the success of the first Joker movie which

8
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:48,920
Jay you really liked um yeah I honestly I liked both of them what the hell

9
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:54,960
happened all right I think this is my this is just my theory I think a few

10
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:01,480
things happened okay one at the end of Joker one like kind of the Joker is

11
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,160
revealed right so it's a story about Arthur going through his life and then

12
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,600
at the very end you get teased with the Joker a little bit and so I think one

13
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:16,320
fans wanted this action-packed Joker and the second Joker film but also you're

14
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:23,120
coming from Deadpool Wolverine right so you have this R-rated action-packed

15
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,920
awesome adventure I think I think fans were wanting that I don't think they

16
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:36,320
were really kind of wanting a kind of deep storyline of like a reflection of

17
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:40,760
our society where no one cares who you are we just care about like the persona

18
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:47,160
that you put on kind of thing so I don't know I think it was a great movie but

19
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:54,360
now with the movie like fans wanted so a couple of things that I saw about the

20
00:01:54,360 --> 00:02:01,560
film and I'm curious to hear about your interpretation this one the musical

21
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:08,280
acts aspect of it right oh my god it was a jukebox musical in that it's all like

22
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,320
covers and pop songs and things like that but to my understanding it didn't

23
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,200
really add to the story they weren't telling the stories of the music it was

24
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,200
like here's some story story story and then here's a musical number and then

25
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,000
with that and then we're gonna go on some other story story story and here's a

26
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,720
musical number would that be an accurate telling of what they ended up doing

27
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:38,400
there yeah and I I think that's like Arthur's way of trying to cope with like

28
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:44,320
what's going on around him like his mental health like he's envisioning this

29
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,800
like musical thing I'm also I think like Lady Gaga wouldn't do it if it wasn't

30
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,400
some sort of like singing or something going on in there yeah absolutely but I

31
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,400
mean I agree it didn't really add much to it it was a little I don't know

32
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,000
misplaced so I will agree with that I don't think it was like enough to be a

33
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:12,280
musical though I don't know so the other thing I'll say is maybe Todd Phillips

34
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,160
who's the director of Joker and Joker 2 I think he just needs to stay away from

35
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:23,360
sequels right hangover one which he also did great yeah hangover one was great

36
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:34,160
hangover two not so much right Joker one are you great Joker 2 not so much maybe

37
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:40,880
Todd maybe sequels just aren't your bag man I would argue though that's the

38
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,280
curse of the sequels it's always harder to pull off the second movie okay and I

39
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,920
will say like Transformers 1 amazing like I got and it bombs you see like and

40
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:57,080
it bombed to I I don't understand that like I remember like watching that in

41
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,040
the movie theaters back when they were doing midnight releases of movies I'm

42
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:06,600
telling you they've run that franchise into the ground well yeah but I mean the

43
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,200
first nobody nobody trust them nobody trust them Bumblebee was great Rise of

44
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:16,800
the Beasts not so much so they're going off what their last what their last kind

45
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:27,640
of run was and that's difficult oh yeah you know so yeah the first Joker made the

46
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,440
studio a billion dollars it was nominated for multiple Academy Awards

47
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,080
Joaquin Phoenix won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Arthur Flex slash the

48
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:42,800
Joker which is why they greenlit a second movie right we all knew like look you

49
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,520
made a billion dollars and that's not a small amount of money it's it's hard to

50
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,920
do and it was I believe the first R-rated movie to break a billion dollars was

51
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,960
Joker mm-hmm yeah I think I remember seeing that as well yeah right now

52
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,680
obviously Deadpool Wolverine came out this year and it well surpassed a billion

53
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:11,480
dollars as an R-rated movie so I get why they greenlit this the other thing I saw

54
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,800
is I saw a bunch of stuff where Todd Phyllis was talking about how they would

55
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,840
go in and rewrite the script in the morning and they'd like scrap pages of

56
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:24,680
I just I get the sense that they didn't really know what what they were trying to

57
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:32,120
say hmm interesting like the first one they had something to say about a broken

58
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,440
society and mental health and a broken person in a broken world and him getting

59
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:43,400
left behind I don't get the sense that that happened here yeah I mean that I

60
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:50,440
think that makes sense I think that's like fair to say but I will say I'm not

61
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:57,920
gonna spoil the movie for anyone at least I hope not I'm no spoilers but I

62
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,680
really kind of liked the ending because I will say like throughout the movie

63
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,400
there were things that were happening where like as a Batman fan growing up

64
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,880
always being like obsessed with Batman I was like that doesn't make sense that

65
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,560
doesn't make sense and there were things that I was like keeping track of like I

66
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:22,360
I'm a really bad movie critic because I just go to a movie to be entertained so

67
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,200
no I don't feel that you bad I mean like I'm just like oh yeah the movie was great

68
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,880
like for every movie unless I fall asleep in it which the only movie I fell

69
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,840
asleep in was the reboot of the Fantastic Four movie because that shit was bad

70
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:45,000
fan four sticks yeah yeah I was oh my god so yeah I mean like I enjoyed it but I

71
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,800
was keeping track of like this doesn't make sense like Harley Quinn would not

72
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:55,000
say this or do this the Joker would not say this or do this it's not adding up

73
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:01,680
and then at the very end of the movie not spoiling it I was like oh fuck it all

74
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:07,120
makes sense it kind of like had that not as good I will say but that like ending

75
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:13,280
of like the sixth sense where you're like wait shit wow okay like that makes

76
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,360
sense now Bruce Willis is dead the entire movie yeah that's not the ending of

77
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,720
the Joker 2 don't worry I did not spoil that for he's not dead yeah no he's not

78
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:30,880
he's not he's not dead um yeah yeah all right well let us know what you think
